43 www.smart-molding.com measuring technology Classy AI The PVS range implements the new Classy AI tool. While it does not change the control process itself - which already provides the highest accuracy - Classy AI immediately classifies defects by type on a user-friendly dashboard. How does it do this? The left-hand side of the state-of-the-art Classy AI dashboard shows the detectable defect types, grouped into ‘families’ (accidental, technological, decoration- OCR, measures, specific). In the middle, an image highlights the area of the object with the defect. On the right of the screen, quality statistics let users identify any process trends/drifts concerning the specific defect. Each defect family is, in turn, divided into subcategories. In the event of a problem, the operator is alerted by an icon that identifies not only its type but itsmost likely source, allowing corrective action to be taken more quickly. Classy AI thus implements a different approach to control, one that makes these systems easy to use, even for operators who are not necessarily Computer Vision experts. PVS: the complete range The PVS10L belongs to the broad SACMI PVS range of preform quality control systems: these differ according to application (in-line, as an aid for Quality Control labs, or offline for high- speed sorting of potentially defective preform batches). The ability to perform a comprehensive set of checks – including dimensional checks, weight checks and reading of cavity numbers – means that these systems play a pivotal role in keeping production ultra- efficient at all times. Other outstanding innovations include SACMI’s recently launched PVS156, the first system for the intensive quality control of 100% of output to be integrated on the press. About SACMI SACMI is an international group, world leader in the supply of advanced technologies for the Ceramics, Plastics, Food & Beverage, Metals, Packaging and Advanced Materials sectors, thanks to the application of innovative technologies, its strong positioning on the world markets, and its continuous search for high quality standards and customer service.
